Greetings, dear readers! December is quickly passing by, and I figured I better get up this giveaway post asap! I had originally planned to do an advent giveaway, but that time has come and gone. In truth, the holiday season is a difficult time for me, and I'm currently in survival mode. I've not been able to focus on the blog much; I'm really sorry about that! I'm not going to make any promises about the rest of the month because I don't think I'd be able to keep them. I just have to admit to myself that mentally I just cannot do it all right now and be ok with it. I still have a few posts I want to do this month. Here's hoping I can push through it! Until then, here's my holiday giveaway!
But what is it?
In the spirit of the holiday gifting season, it's just going to have to be a surprise! I will tell you there is a little bit of cosmetics, nail polish, and hair care items in this box. If you follow me on Instagram, I had hinted at one of the items a couple weeks ago, but the rest is a surprise. There are brands I enjoy and some handy items I use daily (the enclosed is new and unused, I promise!).
Please enter in the rafflecopter widget below. All the extra rules and details can be found there.
I wish I had the budget to buy gifts for every one of you; I truly appreciate all your support throughout the year!
Best of luck!
Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful evening!

Thanks for the thoughtful giveaway! I hear you on reminding myself that I can't do it all. :) For the holidays, I'm not the baker or chef....I'm the eater! LOL. My husband makes molasses cookies and spritz cookies. If I had to prepare a treat - there is a SUPER easy recipe that I've tried before that combines salty and sweet. Saltines, with melted chocolate on it & pretzel bits. Great kid friendly recipe.
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty fun!!! Did you stamp the box? Mmmmm, Kristie just made me hungry
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you're having a rough time of it. I certainly understand. Take care of yourself.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway! It is a busy time of year and I am behind in everything too, but make sure to take some time for you!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite holiday snacks are these chocolate pretzels. Put mini pretzels on a baking sheet and then place a chocolate Rollo candy on top of each, then bake in the oven for 10 minutes til the chocolate is melted. Very easy!
Well this is fun! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, I feel like from here on out its truly the busiest time of year!
ReplyDeleteWe do pumpkin rolls but my favorite is the $300 red velvet BUT the key is to eat it cold I don't like "normal" cream cheese red velvet because of this

ReplyDeleteI always make nanaimo bars, butter tarts and shortbread cookies for Christmas treats.
ReplyDeleteI like to make homemade sugar cookies,molasses cookies and pumpkin bread!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate chip pie for the holidays
ReplyDeleteI am sorry the holidays are rough for you. I feel much the same and it's not a good thing. As for recipes, I am the world's worst baker, so... But my favorite holiday dessert is, weirdly and simply enough, butter cookies.
ReplyDeleteI do not have any good holiday recipes to share. I do not get fancy on the desserts.
ReplyDeleteI like an apple cinnamon tartlet
ReplyDeleteI like to make Pecan Pie Bar, fudge and apple crisp, nothing fancy.
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been a tough time for you lately. I've learned that I can't do it all, so one thing I gave up is baking cookies for Christmas. I use to bake about 12 different kinds. Now I just try to enjoy the time spent with my family.
ReplyDeleteI love butterscotch crunchies. I've only seen them at my family Christmas, so maybe it's an uncommon treat. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove Nanaimo bars but I am just terrible in the kitchen!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteI love pannetone and Italian cookies!
ReplyDeleteOreo Peppermint Crunch Cookies and Butterfinger Cookie Dough Truffles are a couple of our favorites. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI like chocolate chip.
ReplyDeleteCharleston chewies - I buy them locally. They are similar to blondies, but different.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a great baker, but I always participate in the office Cookie Exchange and end up with several dozen great cookies.
ReplyDeleteSnow globe cheesecakes are really fun!! I LOVE cheesecake! https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/snow-globe-cheesecakes-7262670
